ITALY
VeniceClick to open side panel for more information, the capital of Italy's Veneto region, is an extraordinary archipelago of 118 islands woven together by over 400 bridges and a complex network of canals. Often called "La Serenissima," this "Floating City" is a masterpiece of engineering and art, built upon millions of petrified wooden piles driven deep into the lagoon's bed. The Historic Heart: San Marco The district of San Marco serves as the city's primary cultural and political hub, centered around what Napoleon famously called "the drawing room of Europe." Piazza San Marco: This iconic square is the only "piazza" in Venice (others are called "campi") and acts as the grand stage for the city's social and religious life. St. Mark's Basilica: Known as the "Church of Gold," this cathedral is a marvel of Byzantine architecture, featuring over 8,000 square meters of shimmering gold mosaics. Doge's Palace: A stunning example of Venetian Gothic architecture, this was the residence of the Doge and the seat of the Venetian Republic's government for centuries. Bridge of Sighs: This enclosed limestone bridge connects the palace to the old prisons; legend says prisoners would sigh at their last view of Venice through its windows.
